Coldwell Banker Chesapeake Welcomes Stephen “Steve” Lagoy to Chestertown Office

Coldwell Banker Chesapeake Real Estate proudly announces the addition of Stephen “Steve” Lagoy to its Chestertown, Maryland office, strengthening the firm’s expertise across Maryland’s Eastern Shore. With more than 45 years of legal experience, including ownership of a settlement company and bar membership in Maryland and Pennsylvania, Steve brings a highly strategic, legally grounded approach to residential real estate—particularly for sellers who value precision, protection, and results.

A Legal Mindset Applied to Eastern Shore Real Estate

Steve Lagoy offers a rare perspective in today’s real estate market. Before becoming a licensed real estate professional, he spent more than four decades as an attorney, navigating complex contracts, mitigating risk, and advocating for client interests. His background includes serving as a member of both the Maryland and Pennsylvania Bars and owning and operating a settlement company, giving him end-to-end knowledge of real estate transactions—from listing to closing.

This experience allows Steve to approach every transaction with clarity and foresight, identifying potential challenges early and structuring deals to minimize risk while protecting client equity.

Strategic Representation for Sellers on Maryland’s Eastern Shore

What differentiates Steve from many agents is not just experience—but how that experience is applied. Sellers working with Steve benefit from a strategic, advocate-driven approach that emphasizes:

• Intelligent and defensible pricing strategies

• Meticulous contract review and negotiation

• Proactive risk management

• Smooth coordination through settlement and closing

Having overseen thousands of transactions from both the legal and settlement sides, Steve understands where deals can falter—and how to prevent costly surprises before they occur.

Deep Roots in Eastern Shore Living

Steve and his wife made a deliberate decision to relocate to Maryland’s Eastern Shore in 1997, drawn by the region’s lifestyle, waterways, history, and sense of community. That appreciation extends beyond business. His personal connection to the Shore informs how he represents properties, communicates value to buyers, and positions homes within the broader context of Eastern Shore living.

From waterfront properties to historic towns like Chestertown, Steve understands what draws buyers to this region—and how to tell that story effectively.

“Steve Lagoy brings an exceptional level of professionalism and strategic thinking to our firm,” said Hugh M. Smith, Broker/Owner of Coldwell Banker Chesapeake. “His legal background and settlement experience offer our clients a distinct advantage, especially sellers navigating complex transactions. We are proud to welcome him to our Chestertown office.”

Steve Lagoy serves sellers throughout Chestertown, Kent County, and Maryland’s Eastern Shore who want more than basic representation.
